The prominence of the liquor
question just new in New York has
caused the New York Star to find
out and publish to the world what
the editors of that big city drink.
Editor Dana, of the San, likes good
whiskey, but he seldom drinks it.
lie also likes champagne and bur-
gundy. Editor James Gordon Ben
nett, of the Herald, likes champagne
but he is so afraid of all intoxicants
that he does not use them. Editor
Whitelaw Reid, of the Tribune, has
all the wines on the tablein his mil
lion-dollar residence, but he seldom
tries anything stronger than cider.
Editor George Jones, of the Times,
is a friend of ale. Editor Joseph
Pulitzer, of the HOrld, is attached
to sour wines and champagne. Ed
itor Dorshelmer, of the Star, is best
pleased by dry champagne. Other
instances are given. But the great
point, after all, is that these great
educators are all very slight drink
ers. They know the value of tenn
'perance and practice it. So, indeed,
do all successful men.

a correspondent suggests that
the board of county commissioners
should create the office of Road En-
gineer, to supervise the road super
yisors. Our correspondent should
90 little further and ask for an
engineer for every vehicle that is
pulled over our highways. The
money that is annually squandered
upon extra horsepower, breakage,
and wear and tear of property and
temper caused by bad roads, would
pay 20 per cent. upon the cost of
necessary repairs. Poor roads are
an extravaganza in which no COM
munity that is not given over to
shiftlcssness and decay can afford
to indulge.

Accused of Assault.

Schenectady, June 13.-Josiah Warner,
a Chenille farmer, not quite nineteen years
old, was held for the Grand Jury Saturday
On a charge of assaulting Bertha Ferguson,
a gretty girl of thirteen years. Her father
is William Ferguson, neighbor of War
ner The girl says that the assault was
committed in dense woods through which
she had to pass on her way to school.
After she had told her story to her father
he demanded, it is said, of
Warner $500 in settlement of the wrong to
his daughter, but, after some dickering,
accepted nine months note for half that
amount, Endorsed by Warmers father and
mother. The matter was brought to the
attention of District-Attorney Vedder,
who caused Warmers arrest yesterday.
Warner says that he intended to assault
the girl, but did not. There is talk of ar
resting Furguson on 1.-THE charge of cam
pounding felony. Warner has been mar
ried only eight months.

Only a Tramp, But HeIHad $50
600.

Wheeling, w Va, June 14.-In over
hauling some old paper in the office of the
Board of County Commissioners at the
Courthouse to-day, documents having a
face value of about $4,000 were un-
earthed. The papers bore The signature of
Lowell Gore, and their perusal calls to
mind the mysterious death of a man of that
name, in this county about five years ago.
In the summer OF 1882 dirty, unkempt
and ragged stranger made his appearance
and encamped by the roadside, where he
ate frugal meal begged from a neighbor-
ing farm. house. The next morning the
old man was found unconcious and almost
dead from an assault which had been made
upon him during the night. while his
clio hing and the wagon had evidently
been searched by some one having knowl-
edge of valuables in his possession. The
old man died in few hours. Sewed in
his coat were found several letters and pa
pers, but these were subjected to a very
superficial examination, and were then
sent to this city, where they were tossed
into pigeon-hole at the Courthouse. To-
days examination of these papers showed
them to consist of promissory notes, bonds,
deeds to Vermont land and other evidences
of wealth to the aggregate amount above
stated,

ing for Him and His
100000.

New York June I5.-The friends OF
Thomas b. McManus, the wealthy real
estate owner of No. 32l West Twenty-tirst
street, who has not been seen since last
Wednesday, have received no word OF his
whereabouts. He left home, where he
lived with his wife, early Wednesday
morning, but said nothing as to his IN
tentions 1t has since been learned that
he stored trunk full Of clothing and
miscellaneous articles about week age in
a Thirty-fourth street store-house. 1t is
also known that McManus hal disposed of
considerable of his real estate, estimated
at about $4,000, but it is not yet known
whether he had this money or any part OF
it ON his person when he left home.
MIS- McManus was too i'll yesterday TO
be seen, and Lawyer Lippman, who lives
in the same house, said he did not know
with what bank Nc Manus did business and
could not say whether he had drawn on his
account or not. This will be found out to-
day. Mona anus had no bad habits, lived
happily with his wife, and. so far as
known, had not been specializing.
1t is possible that the idea OF
going to Ireland, where he has relatives,
suddenly struck him and that he acted on
it, but his name does not appear on the
out going passenger lists since Wednesday.
His brother-in law, Mr.. Clinton, OF
Poughkeepsie, is in town engaged in the
search. A general alarm for McManus
has been sent out from police headquar-

A Marriage Boom.
San Francisco Examiner.

San Francisco Examiner.
cit beats the world" remarked the
clerk of the Grand Hotel yesterday to
a reporter, ''how many people are
getting married these days. the
woods are full of blushing brides and
happy grooms.
''For quite a while now young
married couples have been focking in
here from all the towns outside. In
all my experience L never knew Of
such heavy business. Night before
last we had six couples. Last night
we had four, and we have four more
couples already to-day, and the day is
not half over yet"
"How about the bridal chamber,
or have you enough of them to supply
all corners? ?" was asked.
"That's all nonsense. Most people
think the bridal chamber, so called,
consists of a seperates >and distinct
room, or suit of rooms, lavishly furn-
ished and set aside especially for new
Unmarried couples. This is an error.
Any good hotel has numbers of good
rooms, and the happy people are
simply accorded these. They ali look
like bridal chambers to them-like
palaces, and as a rule the groom is
only to glad to pay the biggest price
you can name. But that's all there is
in it-simply get good suit of rooms,
that's ALL" Z.
BY strange coincidence the re-
porter was told of an unusually large
number of yonng people on their we'd
ding tours at the Palace and Occi-
dental also, and a pretty fair number
are also scattered around at the other
hotels.
81 never knew of quite such
boom in marriages at this time of the
year. said another clerk, concerning
the matter.

Did SIeetzer Do 1t +?

Vinita, /. T., June 15.-Deputy United
States Marshall /. s. Bell has in custody
at this place a man believed TO be Joe
Sleetzer, who is wanted to answer for MUIR
dering the Mshoney boys in the Cherokee
Nation in February 1886. Pat McCarty
was convicted of this crime and hanged at
Fort Smith some months age, and it has
always been known that two men com.
mitted the double murder. The prison
er claims his name is Ed Nichols
and says that at the time the murder was
committed he was working on the RAILROAD
at Aledo, Texas, and was turned over to
the officer here by George w. Todds, a de-
tective, who has had him for about two
weeks. Nichols, or Sleetzer, came to
Eureka in box car, tramp and was
taken In on the description sent out by the
United States authorities. His identity
has been partially abolished, and
when complete he will 20 to Fort Smith
for trial.
